Abstract : Perpustakaan Tuanku Bainun
Nowadays, the web-based systems for stray animals are common, but unfortunately, it’s come with limited functions. It is due to the limited functionality which can really help to solve the problems bring by the strays, hence these websites are neglected. Thus, the project entitled “Development of an Interactive Web-Based System for Stray Cats and Dogs (Paws League Welfare)” is proposed. The inconvenience caused by stray animals was gathered from residents of Jalan Repok Sarikei. Additionally, requirements and needs for the system were also solicited. The system was created by using extreme programming (XP) as the methodology. After the system was built, it is tested by 10 users which is residents of Jalan Repok Area and 3 admins of Love and Rescue Animal Clubs. The overall result on the user interface is good. The most functionalities are also acceptable by the users and admins. Although the system is simple with less features and functionalities, but the assessment and acceptance results were overall good. A list of improvement of the features and functionalities are obtained and can be further enhanced to achieve the criteria including effectiveness and efficiency of the system. It is hope that this system can be widely used by all the residents, so that more strays are rescued.
